Redcastle Hotel and Spa in Donegal has launched its 2026 Christmas packages, offering families and couples the chance to escape to the shores of Lough Foyle. The four-star hotel on Donegal’s Inishowen Peninsula will remain fully open throughout the Christmas period, with guests able to choose between a four-night Christmas experience or a two-night Christmas break. The four-night Christmas package begins on 23 December, allowing guests to settle in before Christmas Eve.

The four-night package runs from 23 December to 27 December 2026 with adults sharing from €649 per person, children aged 5 to 12 from €335 per child and children aged 0 to 4 staying free. The two-night package with arrival on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day has adults sharing from €489 per person, children aged 5 to 12 from €249 per child and children aged 0 to 4 staying free. Guests are welcomed with finger food and hot drinks on arrival before the celebrations get underway.

On Christmas Eve, guests can enjoy a full Irish breakfast before younger visitors get the chance to meet Santa. There will also be Christmas movies at The Deck Cinema while guests can enjoy a table d’hote dinner in the award-winning Edge Restaurant. Christmas Day begins with breakfast before the hotel’s Grand Carvery Christmas Buffet Lunch in the Ocean Suite complete with sparkling wine on arrival. The festive programme continues on St Stephen’s Day with breakfast, an afternoon Magic Show, dinner and Christmas movies.

Owen McGee, General Manager of Redcastle Hotel and Spa, shared: “Christmas should be about having time together, but for many families the reality can involve days of preparation, cooking and tidying up. Our Christmas packages take all of that away. Guests can arrive, unpack and enjoy Christmas together, with everything from Christmas dinner and Santa to entertainment and family movie time taken care of.”
